  abstract = {{S}pecies in the stem borer noctuid subtribe {S}esamiina are notoriously difficult to distinguish because most related species have homogeneous wing patterns and almost indistinguishable genitalia. {T}he latter is potentially problematic because this group includes several important pest species that are usually baregly distinguishable from non-pest species. {I}n this study we focus on the {M}editerranean corn stalk borer {S}esamia nonagrioides ({L}efebvre), an important pest of maize with a wide area of distribution that covers most of {A}frica and extends to the south of {E}urope and western {A}sia. {A}ccording to a recent study, this pest consists of three allopatric populations that were formerly considered as distinct species or subspecies. {H}ere we rely on recent collections of 5470 specimens (sampled in 17 countries and 175 localities) that putatively belong to {S}. nonagrioides. {I}ntegrative taxonomy studies allowed us to unravel the existence of six new species that are closely related to {S}. nonagrioides and described in this paper. {I}n contrast to {S}. nonagrioides these new species have more specific ecological preferences, as they are associated with a limited number of plant species and habitats. {D}ating and population genetic analyses carried out on 100 {S}. nonagrioides specimens also indicate a more complex population structure than previously thought for {S}. nonagrioides, which can probably be accounted for by late {C}enozoic environmental changes.},
